Roth spreads his Seed

Eli Roth (CABIN FEVER) has signed on to direct a remake of the camp classic horror film THE BAD SEED for Warner Bros. The story, in case you you've been living under a rock, follows an 8-year-old girl with a reaaaal mean streak. Not one to disappoint, Roth had some classic quotes on the news:

"[W]e are going to bastardize and exploit it, ramping up the body counts and killings."

"She's this cunning, adorable kid who loves to kill, but also loves 'N Sync."

"This is going to be scary, bloody fun."

Right there is the reason why fans love this guy so much. On-board to produce SEED is Strike Entertainment, the guys behind this March's DAWN OF THE DEAD. Warner Bros. reportedly sparked to the idea of a remake after high sales of the DVD re-release. Unfortunately there's no telling yet when the film may get made and Roth still has a number of projects on his plate. He's attached to direct both SCAVENGER HUNT and THE BOX, from a script he co-wrote with Richard Kelly (DONNIE DARKO).
